The following was posted on the Convention Facebook page. If you are attending the convention and want to come early or stay a day or two after, please consider staying at the convention hotel. Thank you.

"We are falling 100 room nights short of our booking goal at the Westin which means a lot of extras (from the hotel,) that we won't have to giveaway!

The Weston is trying very hard to work with us and even flipped 53 nights from outside guest into our block so if anyone can pick up another night, it would be SSSSOOOO appreciated and IF we meet our attrition, then we will have all the names who helped with an additional night or two and have a drawing for 5 nights to giveaway! BUT, we'll only have those to giveaway IF we meet the attrition.

In order to qualify, call or email my person in charge of our reservations at the Weston, Danae Kaupp directly at 704-335-2037 Danae.Kaupp1@westin.com.
